Finally, my first Kabab FPV inspired toothpick style build with a custom pod I designed for the Caddx EOS 2.
Thingiverse Link for the Pod: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3547944
I was really curious if these things actually fly as well people say and I was not disappointed!
The speed of this little quad (although it is really fast for its size) was actually not the most impressive thing about it. What really blew my mind was how good the flight characteristics are. While the other micros I flew all felt kind of sluggish and lacked control this thing is super locked and precise. It feels literally like a little well tuned 5 Inch!!!
The other aspect that is just really awesome is that these little toothpicks solve one of the main issues I have with our regular 5" quads: They are noisy! I live in a densely populated city and it is really hard to find a spot that is not super far away and has nobody living nearby that is bothered by the noise.
I must admit the build itself wasn't too easy. Removing the connectors from the board and soldering the tiny tiny motor wires requires a steady hand and arranging all the wires to look clean was a pain in the a*** :-D

Numbers:

AUW with a 300mah 2S: 63g
Dry weight: 45g
Flight time: 3min +

Super nice build!!

What hardware did you use to mount the fc/esc and canopy? Can't quite tell from the photos.... :)

Dave_C FPV May 15, 2019

Thanks! The rubber mounts that come with the Carzybee plus some m2x14 screws

Newb question: How do the props stay on? friction?

The Van Apr 09, 2019

Yep. There's a bit of confusion over shaft size though, so in practice be sure that the motor shaft diameter is equal to the prop hole diameter. Common sizes are 0.8mm, 1mm, and 1.5mm

flickischris Apr 11, 2019

if your motor shafts are larger than what these 65mm props are, you can use s drill bit to mill out the hole. have to do this to use these props with most 11xx motors.

Dude this looks outstanding! Great work & super clean pod as always.

Dave_C FPV Apr 09, 2019

Thanks man!

Nice build. I have a very similar one that is nearly done just waiting for the 3s esc to come in the mail today or tomorrow. Whats the AUW?

Edit: NVM see the 45g. The eos2 and gtxnano are a heavy combo.

Jun 21, 2021

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
